Great British Bake Off star Jamie Finn is the latest contestant to leave the show, just a week after he survived the vote despite forgetting to put eggs in one of his recipes.

Jamie was the second baker to leave the tent following Dan Chambers' surprise exit in week one, with many not seeing it coming.

As usual the bakers faced disaster as they attempted to be this week's Star Baker and not leave the competition.

Week two was a biscuit special and the bakers had to make a luxurious chocolate coated biscuit bar, then went on a nostalgia trip to make Paul’s Dad’s favourite Fig Rolls in the technical challenge and for the Showstopper – a Biscuit Sculpture.

Jamie’s efforts in all three were below par and so he was rightly asked to leave the tent at the end of the show - while in his final treat his biscuit creation fell apart in the oven.

As he said his goodbyes, Jamie welled up while his co-stars were in tears - and they weren't alone as viewers also shed a tear or two.

Taking to Twitter , one fan said: "Gutted that Jamie has gone, but was the only decision!"

Another agreed: "Noooooo not Jamie."

A third added: "Absolutely gutted Jamie is leaving the @BritishBakeOff tent this week!!"

“I kind of knew I was going, and I had almost prepared for it before it was announced, but there were still so many emotions.” He said.

“I was so proud of what I had achieved but also gutted that I had to go. I got a feeling of FOMO because I knew I wouldn’t be there in the coming weeks. Overall it was a great experience and I didn’t regret a single moment.”

Some fans have questioned whether young bakers like Jamie are up to the challenge on the show, but Jamie said: “I am only 20 so it was a very surreal experience, but I felt that I coped quite well.

"I think you need a certain level of maturity just to get past the auditions and recipe development stage. You can’t just wing it, so I gave it all my best and had fun at the same time.”

He admitted he did feel guilty about controversially surviving the first week too, adding: “My worst moment was when Dan left in the first episode, I was gutted for him, and I really thought I was going that week – in one challenge I forgot to put the eggs in!”

Yes we remember Jamie, we were as surprised as you that you stayed in.

Jamie, who is studying Sports Science at Uni will be back on screen in the final along with the other bakers, he said: “I learned so much from the home economists on the show and the other bakers who had more baking experience than me.

"We were quite a youngish group of bakers this year, and I guess that’s why we all bonded so easily."

He added: "We are constantly messaging each other, and we talk through things. Some of us who live close by are planning to meet up.

“At the final episode, we all signed each others’ aprons, so we each have one with every Baker’s name on.

"I won’t be putting it on an eBay - it’s something I will always treasure. It’s a great memory of my time on Bake Off and of all the other Bakers.”
